Surprisingly, if you bring a pendulum to the side, it will start to oscillate in a plan that remains unchanged even though you rotate its base. This is how Foucault demonstrated the rotation of the Earth.

This counterintuitive behavior could be used as a free source of energy. The energy spent by the Earth to force the plane of the pendulum to be changed can generate electricity via a generator or other means.

Technically speaking, we must bring up a good degree of vacuum inside the enclosure to avoid air friction against the mass of the pendulum. Also, the friction at the rotation axis must be reduced to a minimum to harness a substantial amount of energy. The pendulum weight must be large and the diameter of the circular base must also be large enough in order to heave an acceptable rpm at the generator remembering that the base turns only 1/24 of a revolution per hour.
